Seashell Shrimp Salad

"This is yet another recipe from a regional magazine that my family enjoyed. I especially like it served with crackers and fresh fruit. If you would like, you can substitute diced ham for the shrimp."

  1. We liked the salad ok just did not care for the Ranch dressing. DH did not like the addition of cucumber. If I make it again I think I would tweak it with a mayo based dressing and some celery instead of the cucumber.
     
  2. I was a bit short on sea shell pasta so I used what I had and made up the difference with radiatori. Baby salad shrimp was used for the shrimp which I doubled and used my Buttermilk and Onion Salad Dressing Mix #89367 instead of the ranch. The salad was served over torn romaine for a wonderful cool dinner.
     
  3. This was quite good. I agree that it takes a few bites to get used to the ranch flavor, but the more I ate, the better I like it. Plus it made a very pretty presentation.
     
  4. I have seen macaroni salad recipes using Ranch dressing, but this is the first time I have tried them and I found I really do like a mayo based dressing much better. Loved the shrimp addition here, though. I will try these ingredients again and use the mayo instead. Thanks.
